pytqshacl 139

Python wrapper around TopQuadrant SHACL processor

Py(thon)T(op)Q(uadrant)SHA(pe)C(onstraint)L(anguage)

Python wrapper around TopQuadrant's SHACL implementation in Java.

Why?

Motivation: This was developed as part of BIM2RDF where TopQuadrant was used to execute SHACL. Python's PySHACL was too slow. Nonetheless, it's useful to be able to integrate it with Python.

Optional Features

can be installed as pytqshacl[java,cli].

• Java: is installed on first use. Note this changes your system. The installation location will be printed.
• CLI: will just wrap the topquadrant invocation with managed configuraion.

Usage

Install pytqshacl with your Python package manager. The features are optional pytqshacl[cli,java].

CLI

Get help with pytqshacl --help.

Example usage:

pytqshacl\test on  master [!⇡] via  v3.11.9 
❯ pytqshacl validate -d data.ttl -s shapes.ttl -o None
ERRORS: process did not exit with 0

Lib

Check the arguments from validate and infer from the imports from pytqshacl import validate, infer.

Configuration

The environment variable, PYTQSHACL_PREFER_SYSJAVA, can be set to 'false' if the package is installed with the 'java' feature to prefer finding a java executable in the system PATH environment variable.

Dev Philosphy

This point of this code is just to provide access to use TopQuadrant's SHACL from Python. Therefore,

• No features: It should just wrap the TopQuadrant SHACL executable.
• No dependencies
